Just kidding Dawn! I wish there was more interest in Electric Racing on the East Coast. What Electric Off-Road racing that is coming back is mostly Li-po and Brushless!!!!

LOL Tim... just pack up your truck and start driving to Saugus.... .its an awesome track!! Guaranteed a good time racing... all those Californians must be right.. look how many live out there!

Is California still part of the USA? Last time I was there, they had more Spanish language TV stations than English ones!!!

It has been many years since the nats were in california. It has been west coast (NM is a little bit of a streatch to call west cost, look at a map) and Oregon and washington are not exactly hot spots for the industry, no offense to those tracks up there as many of them are very nice).

Getting Hot Rod to host a nationals is a great thing. The track is a great size for 10th scale racing and hosting the Hot Rod Hobbies shootout and the Reedy Truck race of champions for many years those guys really know how to get it done. I am excited to get a chance to run at the nats. Jimmy will put on an awesome show and everyone should have a great time.

I can hardly wait to get out to the cactus again this year Dawn. Looking forward to that race already as well!

Anyway, let me ask you historians this... when was the last time you can remember ANY off road national was in California? Fuel or electric.... and I'm saying, off road.....for those you sneaky ones.. (RCHoudini... )

Well the last one I remember was the ROAR Truck Nationals in Garden Grove at the old SoCal Raceway! I stopped racing in 1997, so after that I dont know.

Wow I do not remember that race. That was back when I started racing. I remember the norca nats at So Cal around 94, 95 and that was at So Cal in GG as well. WE had well over 450 entries as well.

Yeah that is it Steve!

Now play nice guys. If the race was in Sandiego I would agree with the mexically comments but Saugus speaks mostly english!

Hi Dawn, what are the classes for the 1/10th offroad nats in Saugus?

Onroad guy wants to throw some dirt

Saugus was my old neighborhood, before Hot Rod Hobbies was built and would be fun to stomp around in my old area.
